“Lindsey was wonderful with our 2 cats. They are both naturally friendly and a bit demanding when it is feeding time. Lindsey was able to allow them time to play outside and keep them company every night. She has been a great sitter!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life !! I currently have two dogs of my own as well. I do some dog training. Sit, stay, lay, shake, crate training, and potty training. I work full time however I get two breaks and only work Monday-Thursday. I work from 8-5 and take a break at 1130 and 2:30. I live in a house and have a closed in fence. I take my dogs for a walk or run every day and will play fetch or tug of war with them in the yard. The dogs get lots of outside time and my girls love having new friends to play with! A kennel is not required but I do ask if you have one to bring it. Since we have our own dogs and also board more than one dog we put them up in the kennel when going to sleep at night.
“Katelyn did amazing taking care of our puppy while we were out of state. She kept us updated with photos throughout her stay. Our puppy was very happy and taken care of when we return.”
“Vanessa does amazing with my high energy, anxious husky! He’s a lot to handle but she makes it look easy. She house sat for a week and when I came home he was the least anxious I’ve ever seen. Vanessa is dependable, kind and a hard worker. Highly recommend!”
“She’s both perfect. She’s so sweet. She works so hard sending updates. I don’t know if there’s a word to explain how wonderful she is and she’s going places and I’m so proud of her and so is God.”
“Jessie watched our two dogs for a couple of days while we were out of town. The power went out at night while she was here and she managed the situation very well. Our dogs looked happy and healthy upon our return. We would definitely recommend her.”
About: I bring a calm, reliable, and responsible approach to pet care. I focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and check-ins, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m also attentive and patient with senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra care, or more frequent check-ins. What sets me apart is my reliability and attention to detail, I treat every pet like they’re part of a routine, not a task. Owners can expect clear communication, dependability, and a respectful approach to both their home and their pet’s well-being. I work a full-time job from 8–5, but I’m available for pet care outside of those hours. I can do early morning visits, evening care, and overnight stays depending on the pet’s needs and schedule. I also have full availability on weekends. I’m organized with my time and make sure pet care visits are consistent, unhurried, and reliable. When I commit to a booking, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet gets proper attention and care. I provide pet care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and any specific care preferences. I focus on creating a calm, reliable, and attentive visit each time, making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I adjust my approach based on each pet’s personality, whether they are energetic, shy, social, or more independent. I also prioritize clear communication and provide updates so owners feel confident and informed. I make sure the home is secure after each visit and treat each client’s space with respect.
About: After over a decade with my Labrador retriever, I understand the bond between dogs and humans. There’s a reason why they say dog is man’s best friend! I’ve cared for dogs through all stages of life, from puppy to senior puppy. Sadly she crossed the rainbow bridge last year at the age of 15. I’m now in my Cat era! I have two kitties that are my constant companions. I have rescued them as kittens and even had to bottle feed one! They are now happy healthy house cats and the loves of my life. I’m comfortable administering medications and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. Let’s set up a video chat and see if my services match your needs. I’m a remote worker, so have flexibility throughout the day and week to do drop-ins or pet and house sitting. I’m available for house sitting Friday through Tuesday and may have additional availability upon request. I don’t do pet care in my own home because I have my own pets. But I’m happy to come to your animals place of residence and care for them there. I understand animals have their own routines and habits, and I’m happy to follow the guidelines you provide. I prefer to set up a video call or come by to meet you so we can make sure we have good communication regarding your needs and preferences for your furry family member.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ingalls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 112 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ingalls. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ingalls walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ingalls maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ingalls choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
